DRAGON BOAT FESTIVAL IN (RURAL) CHINA 2018

- This is a video from our celebration of the dragon boat festival in rural China 2018.
Although the dragon boat festival got its English name from the dragon boat races, there are no races, or anything related to them, here in my husbands village in rural Qinghai. But in this vide you see some of the dragon boat festival traditions of my family-in-law and the villagers here.
We make green noodles, wrap zongzi, put aiye (Mugwort) behind our ears, and shazao branches above the doors. Apart from the dragon boat races (which I guess are more popular in the cities), making and eating zongzi is one of the most popular dragon boat festival customs in China.
I'm very grateful to have my Chinese family, and through them being able to experience life in rural China, and Chinese traditions and culture.

› HOW I ACCESS RUclips IN CHINA:
The VPN I'm using to access all the western websites from China (such as Facebook, RUclips and Instagram) is ExpressVPN. You can get it here: bit.ly/2BgvMTI
I have used since 2015, and so far I am very satisfied. During certain times of the year, I struggle to get on it - but the great thing about ExpressVPN is that their customer service is always available through their live chat, and they always try to help me if I encounter any problems.

› THANK YOU FOR WATCHING!
Your nephew is so cute and small in this video.
Smell pretty good food. The rice is sticky but sometimes there are fillings too, which makes more tasty
Miriam, I miss China very much and you in particular. Thank you for making this video ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Hi Syifa, nice to see you here! China (and I in particular) miss you too! ;)
That child say: look at me! Look at me!
Update more of your rural life video....Being once grown up in rural it make me nostalgic....It's been 20 years I've never been to my rural village where I spent my childhood...
Dragon boat race is a very southern thing and rarely seen in the central and northern China. Duanwu (the aligned fives, fifth day of the fifth month) Festival became Dragon Boat Festival in English may because Cantonese were the first group that massively entered the English world.
I’m obviously watching older videos. My daughter races competitively in boats like Dragon boats , they are called War canoes here in Canada. There is Dragon boat races in a summer festival here though and she has paddled in those as well. War canoe is an indigenous origin , when they would be at wAr with other tribes or the white man the men would load up the wR canoes and travel fast , there are about 12 or more paddlers in each crew and the Cox who keeps them in rhythm and steers the boat. There is no drummer like in Dragon boats to sound the beat though. Check them out, you’ll see the difference, they are not decorated brightly like the Dragon boats. My daughters crew raced and won three races yesterday. 🚣🏼♀️🚣🏼♂️🚣🏼♀️🚣🏼♂️🚣🏼♀️🚣🏼♂️🚣🏼♀️🚣🏼♂️🚣🏼♀️🚣🏼♂️🚣🏼♀️

yes, we chinese always find an excuse for family gathering and eating some special food.
Chu Yuan threw himself into the miluo river, not into a lake, the dragon boat festival is in memory of him,manners and customs vary from place to place, i lived in miluo river,It was the manners and customs to throw some sugar baozi into the Miluo River to prevent fish from eating Qu Yuan's body. there is also the manners and customs of eating sugar baozi.
good video
Niiiice ! Those potatoes looked very good, makes me hungry 😊 I like your videos, as always! Hope you're happy in China :) (but looks like you are)
is the little boy your son or nephew? he is so cute !
The boy (who is now almost 8) is our nephew. Our son is only 15 months.
Nice festival but your son is very cute...
Child maybe says,look at me.just a cute moment
Hi Miriam, nice video! It's the first time I hear about the leaves behind the ears. Was there any other food beside the zongzi, potatoes and carrots? Here in Hanzhong, Shaanxi, people would always have lots of different foods with their families, especially hotpot.
Your nephew is so sweet.
Fantastic
Very interesting. I noticed that there was no meat eaten at your gathering, are all the people there vegetarians? Usually at Chinese gatherings meat is very conspicuous.
I want to hear that flute from the husband. ,,,Miriam. You are from a musical family.. I want unbiased critique.
你的小侄子上学后英语肯定比其他同学好，哈哈哈哈

Are you from Europe?
Indeed. She is from Sweden.
